FYI I did some snooping around this morning. Asked some service questions to a Prometheus AD. Apparently there is a Prometheus Authorized US service center. This I did not know.

Of course its of little use if your in Norway.

Jupp, William told me to cut my losses right away and send it back to the AD, but like he said, I would loose quite a bit on that, since we have a nice 25% VAT here in Norway, and import tax on top of that, and then registered shipping via UPS to Asia. And also I actually still like the watch, and hope I can get the issues solved locally. If not, I guess I will just have to live with it as is. The dust is easy though, and probably the lume also. So, I´m happy with my decision to keep the watch, although with a kinda sour taste in the mouth ...

If you decided to live with it or rectified the issues yourself locally it's no longer an issue. jmo I can understand the sour taste in your mouth, been there also with another company.

Now I'm speaking in general if anybody has a problem with a watch manufacture please e-mail or PM them first, gave them the courtesy to resolve the situation 99% of the time they do.... I have had issues with some watches and they had been repair under warranty you never heard a word from me.

I had an issue a few years ago with one brand I PMed, and sent them e-mail also, I gave them the courtesy first, but the replies were pure BS, they thought it was funny it wasn't funny when I posted there reply on the net. The situation was resolve a few months later, and I used to own five of there watches it left a sour taste, I no longer own that brand and will not purchase another watch from them ever againdance.gif

It's an honnor my friend! Been wearing Thor's hammer around my neck, days and night since the last 16 years...
Even my full right forearm's tatoo is fully dedicated to him.
THANKS!

this man speaks the truth
+1....My thoughts exactly...if it has issues new out of the box, who knows what other problems will show up later. Apparently when they cased it up, they failed to maintain a dust free clean lab. Who knows what crud could later gum up the movement...
